The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) has expressed concerns regarding the stability risks posed by stablecoins, particularly highlighting the dominance of one issuer that controls 70% of the market. In response, Caitlin Long, CEO of Custodia Bank, criticized the FSOC's stance, arguing that their focus on concentration risks overlooks the regulatory environment that has shaped the current market dynamics.

Additionally, commentary on the demand for stablecoins in relation to U.S. Treasuries and the strength of the U.S. dollar has emerged as part of the ongoing discussion.
